New Magazine Source

i have seen ads for Taiwan made, surplus magazines.

these were made for their military, in Taiwan on US machinery that they received for making indiginous copys of the M-14.

they are priced between the commercial crap and USGI. any one have experience with these??? my thought being good magazines for practice and saving the USGI for serious stuff.

I have several and find no differance from USGI. Fit is the same, feel is the same only difference is the price, 'bout $20-25.

I bought one of the Taiwanese mags at a gun show a couple of weeks ago. It's parkerized, looks and feels like a USGI mag. I haven't tried it. The price was $19.95. I plan to put a slot in it for my AR10. With the slot mod, I can use the mag in both M1As and AR10s. I will try it this weekend and let you know how it works.
